POWER IS IN OUR HANDS “Look at that aunty and the other bike, race and go there” these were the words that I heard from a young child seated on the front side of a bike at a busy traffic signal. The man whom I assume should be his father, quickly moved a few feet away from the stop line and waited ahead of the others. How many of us teach our children basic things nowadays? Our lives have become so fast-paced, with hundreds of channels and innumerable entertainment at our disposal. We have no time to even talk to our kids, which brings in the fear of how our next generation would be. Just imagine, the ’80s and the ’90s kids, we were told every now and then ‘don’t do this’ ‘don’t go there’, ‘you are not allowed to watch this’, so many restrictions, which I felt was a hindrance then. But now, I feel it’s the rock-solid foundation that my parents have given me. Today, I am a mother of twin boys, at times when I read in the newspaper that young adolescent boys, rape a...

Reminisance
Julia stepped inside the cosy hotel room in Nuwara Eliya, Srilanka. It was a place which Julia and her husband Raj loved. It was the place which they chose for their honeymoon. 30 years have passed since then; their kids Ron and Becky were mature enough to handle themselves now. This was a much-needed trip or maybe her last trip, the host of diseases that she had may not permit her to travel again. Raj reminded her to take her medicines before lunch. They visited Lake Gregory, a place which had many memories. They sat and talked nothing, but just admired the sprawling vast water body. She spent the most wonderful 3 days of her life that she could cherish even on her deathbed. On the last day of her trip, she smiled at Raj and thought, I loved this trip. The lady at the reception thanked her and cleared her bill, while Julia walked alone to her cab, carrying her favourite book ‘PS I love you'. Love and fate can never be predicted.
Conscience
She rang the doorbell of room number 109. It was on the 8 th the floor of that luxury hotel. Had there been a Blood pressure machine, it would have indicated how tensed she was, her heart beating so fast that it was heard outside. Sanjay opened the door. Sanjay was her ex-boyfriend. Now both were married and had kids. But, as fate would call it both of them were not happy. Sanjay had come to Chennai from Bangalore officially, and they deiced to meet. Once all the greetings and casual talks were over, Sanjana started to weep, saying that they should have got married and not decided to part ways. They would have had a wonderful life together. In the process of consoling her, his long-lost passion for her peeped out. She hugged him and he reciprocated. In no time they kissed passionately and Sanjay bit her lips which she loved and it aroused her further. The thought that nobody would know what happened inside those four walls or that this might bring some sort of console to their love-los...
